I'm happy to teach kids age 6 & up who already have at least an A1 level of English, but please let me know in advance if the lesson is for a child, and tell me more about the child's experience with English (i.e. what's their reading level?) and their learning styles & challenges. Please also tell me your goals for your child before we begin.

For young children (age 6 to 8), I expect a parent to be nearby during the lesson in case of behavior or technical issues.  (溫聲提醒爸爸媽媽：陪小孩時，請讓小孩自己回答問題，不要提供答案喔😇）

For older children (age 9 & up), a parent may be present, or I'm happy to teach the child unaccompanied if they're very independent.

Let's talk! In our lessons, you'll have the opportunity to:

◊ Discuss any topic you'd like: hobbies, culture, news, social issues, etc.
◊ Practice asking questions in informal & formal ways
◊ Learn American English slang & elision ("lazy" pronunciation used by native speakers)
◊ Increase your vocabulary related to the topics discussed

In each lesson, I'll provide typed comments & new vocab you can use to review after class.

✅ ...working in an international company with English-speaking colleagues?
✅ ...having trouble speaking up in meetings?
✅ ...required to give presentations in English?
✅ ...preparing to interview for a new job or grad school?

This is the lesson for you!

With an extensive history of working and living in cross-cultural environments, I am well-qualified to help you overcome your challenges in working in an international environment. 

My students come from fields including banking and finance, marketing and advertising, international trade, manufacturing, hard sciences and medicine, psychology, technology startups, and more.

🎯 Besides the above situations, we can also work to improve your professional speaking for specific goals, including:

◊ APPLICATIONS & INTERVIEWS for new jobs and grad school programs
◊ PRESENTATIONS for business meetings and on-campus teaching demos for university faculty candidates
◊ STARTUP PITCHING for pitch competitions, investor pitches, or media interviews

Business & Interviews（商務英語 / 面試） ⭐️ Interview ⭐️  Presentation ⭐️  Startup ⭐️ Cross-Cultural Communication, Workplace Small Talk（報名時，必須發自我介紹，謝謝🙏！）

🚨 FIRST-TIME STUDENTS, PLEASE READ 🚨
I do not accept new students who haven't filled out the CONTACT TEACHER form or sent me an intro message. Please tell me more about yourself and your expectations when you sign up. 

Students who plan to take the TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, LSAT, or other tests may benefit from this lesson type, but please note that these lessons focus on confident English communication & comprehension rather than testing templates. (Templates can improve scores, but do not lead to fluency.)

My areas of expertise are particularly suited to students in social sciences, marketing, cross-cultural studies, and the humanities, and we will review skills such as:

∆ variety in tone, grammar, and vocabulary when speaking
∆ Greek & Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes to increase advanced vocabulary
∆ conjunctions & transition phrases for better comprehension
∆ how to take better notes while reading & listening to academic topics

We may use materials from your course of study, or I can provide academic English activities for you where relevant. During each class, I'll provide typed comments in the chat & new vocabulary you can use to review, and share additional reading materials.

🚨 Notes 🚨 
1. Cancellations/schedule changes must be 24 hours in advance

2. TEST-TAKERS: Last-minute studying before an upcoming test doesn't work for English! If you're planning to take a major English test in the future, give yourself from 1 to 6 months to prepare, depending on your level.

3. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: If you're in a program with highly specialized vocabulary such as medicine or other advanced courses in STEM, I recommend you select an English teacher with expertise in your specific field.
